Meet a Local ThriftyFun Member

This is an unusual tip but if you have as good as luck as I have with it, it is well worth it. Try meeting up with someone you see posting a lot on here that lives in your area. I met in person a fellow ThriftyFun member yesterday just from a few messages on here and a few emails.

What a very nice person she is. We found we had a lot in common. We met for breakfast and probably talked an hour and 1/2. We plan to do it again sometime. We live 2 hours from each other but I visit other friends where she lives also. Try it, you might be in for a very nice time.

Editor's Note: Whenever meeting someone from the internet, be safe and meet in a public place. Do not give out personal information such as your last name or address until you have established a relationship.

I've struck up a friendshop with a very nice person here and we write emails back and forth often. She sends me "funnies" and I gripe to her aobut my plight as a farmers wife and she laughs. We have a great time, don't we Deeli?

Okay, just received a notification that there was a new post here from Sappie and re-read what I originally wrote. I could just edit my first post but the humor of my error would not be seen if I did that ;-)

'funny farm life gripes' should read as:

'funny, farm life, gripes' but I'll venture to bet Glenn'sMom feels like she lives on a funny farm now and then ;-) LOL!

Oh, you're sooo right, Deeli! It truly IS a "Funny Farm", especially since the cows are calving and "the man" isn't at all sure they can do it without his helping hand! He checks them every 2 hours all night and day! We're both a little rummy most of the time from lack of sleep. I'm strongly considering taking the guest room for the duration of calving but I really hate to do that since I see going to another room as the beginning of the end of ...something...can't quite remember what!! Don't laugh too hard, Deeli darlin'!

I think it is a good idea, but you got to build a relationship and take safety measures. Form a support group, when you need a shoulder to lean on you have someone, when you are under the weather you can call, or go out for tea and discuss about everyday issues.

I am in a 12 step fellowship and we are a family now. We go out to watch movies, go for tea and go on trips or just sit and chat and you'll see how much you have in common.
